The answer

If a partner wishes to join a person who owns goods or equipment, these assets must be appraised in cash and considered capital contributed by their owner.

For a partnership contract to be valid, it must not include: 1. One partner guaranteeing against loss. 2. Specifying a fixed amount of profit for one of the partners; rather, each partner's share must be a common percentage of the profit.
